Eat, drink and sketch!

Lots of my sketches on my travels end up being done in restaurants, cafes and tea rooms. One day I may do a book.........

On this page you can find links to all my blog posts which are about:
  • places where you can eat and/or drink e.g. coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, wine bars etc
  • AND the sketch was done while having a cup of tea or a drink and/or eating a meal 
This page started out life in 2007 as an Index Post on this blog.  (First posted as Interior landscapes with food - a Sketchbook) The aim was to try and find and provide a structure for all my food sketching on my travels.

What you can find on this page


I've organised this page geographically in case anybody else fancies having a go at sketching the same view in the same place!

Below you can find sketches of interiors involving eating and drinking at various locations across London, the north and south of England, Paris, northern France, Provence, Venice, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.

This index page lists:
An Orangery Afternoon Tea, Kew Gardens
  • all the sketches by title and location - usually in date order.  
    • some are just a plate of food - some are a complete four course meal!
    • some sketches are views of the interior landscape and the other people who are eating or drinking
    • a few relate to places where the eating and drinking can take place on a terrace outside e.g. Kew Gardens. 
  • links to the location's website in the title of the place
PLUS - my tips for people wanting to sketch in restaurants and other eateries.
See 10 "Dos and Don'ts" for how to draw people while eating

Piccadilly - Royal Academy of Arts


I used to use and sketch in the Friends Room a lot - before the upgrade and modernisation!

The comfy sofas have now gone - and, after a long time viewing an exhibition, I now much prefer the much more comfortable seats at Fortnum & Masons across the road! The food is better too!

Great place to eat if you're visiting the Royal Academy of Arts - it's directly across the road!
